uilt upon 10+years development of PetroSpec’s renowned spectroscopic fuel analysis technology, GS Series Portable Gasoline Analyzers quickly measure fuel properties, determining multiple analyte levels in a fraction of the time required by other methods and with far more repeatable and reproducible results. These rugged units eliminate prep time and operator bias, making them ideal for lab or field use. From the low-cost, rugged GS 360 to the highly versatile GS Portable Process Analyzer (PPA), these instruments have proven effective in refineries as well as commercial, test and research labs worldwide. Quick, accurate fuel analysis with a variety of powerful features*— automatic volatile organic compounds (VOC) emissions calculation, flexible user calibration software, and calibration uploads directly to process/on-line equipment—provides refiners and marketers a cost-effective way to reliably
evaluate product quality and compliance anywhere the fuel travels.

COMP ANY COMPANY
PetroSpec GS Series
Rugged, portable gasoline analyzers Monitor product quality – where fuels are blended – in the field – aatt process plants – aatt pilot plants Optimize fuel & additive blending Ensure government compliance Verify chain of custody Minimize transmix & contamination problems Increase laboratory efficiency Whether you operate a research, refinery or commercial test lab; a pilot plant; or a pipeline terminal, you need results quickly and cost efficiently. PetroSpec analyzers were designed to provide those advantages without sacrificing accuracy. We combine fuel chemistry and optical science, producing a highly advanced analysis engine with amazing accuracy. For essential versatility, we offer this proven technology in portable and online configurations for both lab and field use. Profits in the petroleum industry are made or lost on product specifications. Your reputation depends on the quality of product you deliver. With overblending, you decrease profitability through giveaway. Now, easily monitor product quality and regulation compliance any way the fuel travels—from the refinery, through the distribution system and to the pump—resting assured the product you deliver will satisfy customers and regulatory agencies 100% of the time.
GS 360 Highly reliable oxygenate & benzene (using ASTM methods), toluene and total xylenes measurements with minimal equipment investment.
GS 1000 Adds octane, T50 and T90 predictions. A complete gasoline test lab in one compact, easy to operate, extremely cost effective instrument.
GS 1000 plus Adds accuracy-enhancing software with updatable calibration models. Include local/custom fuel blends. Improve cross-method consistency.
GS 100 0000 VOC The ultimate in environmental compliance testing. Adds E200 and E300 predictions plus automatic calculation of VOC emissions.
GS PPortable ortable Process Analyzer (PP A) (PPA) Developed specifically for refineries, pilot plant and R&D. Enhanced software enables maximum flexibility for custom method development. Users control operation and data processing directly from a computer.
USER CALIBRATION SOFTWARE Included with GS 1000 plus, GS 1000VOC and GS PPA Gain increased accuracy with existing calibration Augment the factory calibration set, training instruments to your own unique or local fuel blends Develop new calibrations for specific stream or refinery analyses (i.e. reformate, alkylate, etc.) Improve correlation with engine results & other test methods
Benefit from various integrated features including regression analysis with graphical representation of results & complete statistical analysis, a database management system, and custom model definitions PPA only: Quickly and easily select from an infinite number of calibrations to analyze a sample and, following analysis, apply different calibration models to the sample spectrum for added insight in seconds

SAFE, ST ABLE, ACCURA TE DETECTION STABLE, ACCURATE Provides multiple analyses of widest gasoline blends Integrated hydrocarbon sensor disconnects power from infrared source and triggers alarm message Fast, fully automated, easy to use by non-technical personnel Accuracy-enhancing temperature controlled optical bench eliminates effects of ambient temperature changes thereby increasing measurement accuracy Includes outlier detection for unusual fuel blends not included in factory calibration set
Highly accurate method that uses light to probe a fuel sample to determine its composition and predict properties such as octane number Dual beam, tuned optical filter-based instrument provides long term accuracy and stability resistant to vibrations and equally functional on-road in a vehicle, in the lab, or at the site of a pipeline terminal or a process unit
Each unit is factory calibrated with a diverse matrix of fuels. Pressurized delivery system purges and fills sample cell with <10 ml of fuel for sample integrity. Unusual samples are identified based on their Mahalanobis distances from those in the calibration set and are indicated by an alarm message. New data can be used to augment the factory calibration set using the provided user-updatable calibration software. PPAA . Included with GS 1000 plus, GS 1000VOC and GS PP In the event that outlier fuels are detected, these outliers are easily added by the user to the calibration through user friendly, Windows®-based calibration software. This software allows users to upload new models to an external computer, develop new datasets including the new spectrum, produce a new regression analysis and model coefficents and substitute these new models onto the instrument. PPAA onl onlyy: Software automatically controls the GS PPA GS PP directly from an external computer (computer not included). Allows users to develop new models for existing parameters and up to 10 new properties. Essential for R&D, pilot plant, refinery use. Calibrations easily transfer to online equipment.
